Claymore (written by Norihiro Yagi) is an interesting manga series. It is filled with intrigue, spectacular fights and pretty interesting characters which, despite the number of them that are juggled around by the story, feel like they have enough page time each to justify their existence, which I like. At the same time, the entire thing feels almost low key, despite the superpowers and giant monsters….but exactly why that is so is difficult to explain without looking at what it is about.
